Default SC wheels

Is there really a difference between the +3mm wheels and the stock wheels that go on the SC ?

Is it world-changing? No. Is there a difference? Yes. The change will be most noticeable on higher-bite surfaces where the wider car will roll noticeably less.

If you change the offset you can end up with tire rubbing on something.

Push them out and you can rub the body.
Pull them in and the fronts can rub the arms in full lock turns.

The one has a 3mm offset. That's the difference. Makes the width 3mm wider per side or 6 mm overall.

It is only wider when it is on the truck, not when just holding them up next to each other.

An explanation of wheel offset from a full-scale site that applies to RC exactly the same: https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech...jsp?techid=101
